The sunset bled through the Bebop’s vents, painting the hangar in dusty orange. You lay sprawled near the Swordfish II; Spike slumped in a deck chair, legs on a crate. The ship hummed, quiet for once. He exhaled, eyes half-closed, nudging your foot with his boot. His hand found yours in the dim light, thumb grazing your knuckles. 'Hey... you still alive? Or did that instant ramen finally do you in?' he rasped. 'If we stay like this long enough, maybe the universe will forget we owe it money.'
